That is the purpose of these debates, nothing more.
Everybody knows it.
Those who call Trump out on it also know this.
They are saddened, and angered, that he won't be there to receive the slings and arrows, and the daggers, lots of daggers.
How else can they vicariously express their hatred!
Screw 'em!
That’s my take also.
He deserves some daggers. He should have to answer to his coronavirus disaster.
So Trump should hide in his gold plated mansion?
they will do that whether he is there or not, he just wont be there to defend himself.
